    tried to do a upgrade .. using 7 SP1 x64 ultimate

    The following issues are preventing Windows from upgrading. Cancel the upgrade, complete each task, and then restart the upgrade to continue.


    Your current version of Windows is more recent than the version you are trying to upgrade to. Windows cannot complete the upgrade.


    You can’t upgrade 64-bit Windows to a 32-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 64-bit version of the installation disc, or go online to see how to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings.


    32-bit Windows cannot be upgraded to a 64-bit version of Windows. To upgrade, obtain a 32-bit version of the Windows installation disc.

    That is a very interesting find dude, I wonder if it is a way that M$ is doing saying when it is full lets release the final RTM or something like that. Kinda like a timeline or something, who knows but you never do know lol.

    Thanks :D

    Could very well be. Or it could be a wordsearch which is slowly spelling out the name of the leaker to "name and shame". Although I'm sure it would be some accomplishment :p

    Just found something that could potentially become useful! :

    When mashing away at the F8 key in startup you are presented with a menu with safe mode etc. Well there is a new choice named "Disable Early Launch Anti-Malware Driver".

    The description is as follows :

    "Allows drivers to initialize without being measured by the anti-malware driver."

    Maybe MS are to integrate MSE into windows? :D

    Nice find too but my guess it is more of a tool to protect yourself from malware that runs at bootup and possibly to detect boot loaders like that Daz lol.

    Unlock All Ribbon Icon in 7989

    Unlock Ribbon Icon in 7989​

    Screen : img34.imageshack.us/img34/3064/34793584.jpg

    You need to replace your current explorerframe.dll with this : multiupload.com/WUROEA79O4

    After you have 60-70% of the icons unlocked.

    To unlock all you need to update some registry key here (img718.imageshack.us/img718/350/reghive.png) :

    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\
    For exemple the icon for bitlocker is missing we need to add this key to show it :

    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\CommandStore\shell\Windows.BitLocker]
    "Icon"="fvewiz.dll,-3"
    For imports this reg you need to takeown ownership of this key, this batch help you : multiupload.com/WR6V4XNMKX

    Result : img546.imageshack.us/img546/5933/llllc.jpg

    Now with this method you can get all icon, and customize all of them easly trough registry.

    Share your reg :angel_not:


    Some reg by G0B1!N5486 : cid-2356772b1299ecda.office.live.com/browse.aspx/Mods?uc=1

    Screen after apply these reg : img20.imageshack.us/img20/3959/ribbonfull.png

    -----

    For unlock the Ribbon you need this : forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/27491-RedPill-Enabler

    Hi, not sure if anyone else has seen this but the compatibility mode settings window has changed. A drop down box has been added for reduced colour mode, supporting 16 and 8 bit colour and the checkboxes for disabling visual themes and desktop composition have been removed.

    The video driver has been renamed to Microsoft Basic Video Driver instead of Default VGA Graphics Adapter. There is also an icon called Desktop on the start menu...

    On Other Devices on the Device Manager, there are four new hardware pieces with new icons. Headphones, Microphone, Speakers and Microsoft Device Association Root Enumerator.
    Edit: Change SmartScreen settings is on Action Center now but that must be old news as SS was included in previous builds too.
